How I'm sure I appear to others...
I ran across this picture today. I'm afraid to admit that, yes, it's probably true for me...
The end is finally here!!!
So it's the end of the semester. I've been done with school for awhile, but that hasn't meant that I've been free from its effects. All of my roommates have been hard at work with projects and finals, hurried and stressed and stretched a bit thin, and my love has been busy attending to his own academic responsibilities, not as free to talk with me as earlier in the semester. BUT THE END IS FINALLY HERE!!!
I am thrilled that everyone now gets to sink into the bliss that is summer in Arizona (yes, there's a little sarcasm there), but I am most excited because tomorrow I get to see Robbie! He's driving into town with his friend, Rob, to go to a concert and then they are both coming to my graduation the next morning (Rob is SUCH a good friend to sit through a two hour graduation ceremony for me). Then they are both hitting the road back to Albuquerque again. It'll be a brief encounter, a sip of water on a scorching summer day. But the all-to-soon-again absence will be quite bearable, because just five days later, Robbie will be coming home for good.
Now wait, you may say, doesn't he have another year of school in Albuquerque? How is he coming home for good? Well, as he told me the other day, home isn't here in Arizona; home is simply wherever I am *heart bursts with mushy affection* It is less than a week until we will be together for good. I can't believe it!! It's been a long ten months of long-distance relationship, of visits and breaks and difficult goodbyes. No more!
So, while I may not be rejoicing in the streets or on facebook that finals are FINALLY over, I am ecstatic beyond belief that this chapter in our lives is AT LAST coming to a close and that the next chapter of life together (marriage!) can begin.
